Hoo-bloody-rah! At least it means that me and other U E Siders won't have to drag our sorry bods off to the hell that is Co-Op on FHR when we need some (insert everyday foodstuff here, which Co-Op is v unlikely to have anyway). Nectar points, too! Double word score.

Can?t say I can see a Sainsbury?s on the corner being of any use to me.


Granted, I don?t actually know where the food in my house comes from, suffice to say that there seems to be a regular supply, but whenever I do need odds and ends I can generally find them at Val?s.


Sometimes however I do have to go to the horrendous inconvenience of getting off the bus a couple of stops early to go to Green and Blue or Bosman?s and then walk the last ten minutes home.

I did start on re-useables ( ask the nappy lady) but my son is such a heavy wetter that I was constantly changing them and he would get leakages. Not nice having to change a damp new born baby quite a few time during the night, I kept it up until he was 5 weeks and he ended up in hospital with a serious UTI. Since we were in hospital for a few days it was disposables, and as he gets through around 15 nappies a day ( I have to change him up to four times in the night alone as his nappies gets very wet and heavy that it starts leaking if I don't and he poos so much also) I have decided to hold off the re-usables until he is weaned in a few months ( I have ittis and tots bots all waiting for to be used!). He shall be my eco warrior but just not right now.

Looks like this place is finally happening. :)-DWonder what will become of the 2 Off Licences either side of it & the Costcutters? When i told the Costcutter Manager of the Sainsburys opening a few months ago his face nearly dropped. They will really have to UP their gain now.Hope they survive the big boys.

xxxxxxx


But we can't all be creative shopkeepers, and some poor person has presumably bought the franchise at Costcutter

    • Well worth signing up to become a "supporter" as they send their updates and often shed light on things the council and their supporters would rather didn't get too much attention! https://www.onedulwich.uk/get-involved
    • Spot on...and they rant against "anonymous" groups like One Dulwich and then post missives from "anonymous" lobby groups like Clean Air Dulwich without any sense of hypocrisy or irony...
    • The original council proposals for the area around the Dulwich cross roads were made well before Covid - and were rejected then by locals. The council used the Covid legislation to push through the LTNs when opposition was not allowed. LTNs, as experiments were some good (reduced traffic in areas which did not push traffic elsewhere and which did meet the needs of residents - typically in places very well served by public transport and where the topology (absence e.g. of hills) allowed wide use of cycling and walking - not as it happens a good description of the Dulwich (inc ED, WD and ND) areas.)  Dulwich never met Southwark's own description of ideal LTN areas, but did happen to match Southwark Councillor ambitions dating way back. One Dulwich has been clear, I believe that it is anti this LTN but not, necessarily all LTNs per se. But as it is One Dulwich is has not stated views about LTNs in general. In the main those prepared to make a view known, in Dulwich, have not supported the Council's LTN ambitions locally - whilst some, living in the LTN area, have gained personal benefit. But it would appear not even a majority of those living in the LTN area have supported the LTN. And certainly not those living immediately outside the area where traffic has worsened. As a resident of Underhill, a remaining access route to the South Circular, I can confirm that I am suffering increased traffic and blockages in rush hours whilst living some way away from the LTN. All this - 'I want to name the guilty parties' -' is One Dulwich a secret fascists cabal whose only interest is being anti-Labour?' conspiracy theorising is frankly irrelevant - whoever they are they seem to represent feelings of a majority of actual residents either in the LTNs, or in parts of Dulwich impacted by the LTNs. And I'm beginning to find these 'Answer me this...' tirades frankly irritating.
